I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with different designs for digital planners. I even decided to try using PowerPoint instead of KeyNote, and it worked very well. I did use the PowerPoint on my PC, however; I haven't tried it on my iPad. But it is good to know that there is a way to do it on the computer for those who are not comfortable trying to design a planner on a mobile device.

The options are wide open, and options are good!

At our family Christmas gathering, I was showing the grandkids some of the planners I'd been working on, and told them they could have one for their tablets if they wanted it.

One teenaged grandson, who probably has forgotten more than I'll ever know about computers and apps and cool techie things, looked at me quizzically and said, "But these aren't digital planners. Where are the digits?"

Ok...so he had a point.

So...here is an undated "digital" planner, with "digits" and everything. It will work in GoodNotes, Metamoji Notes and maybe some other PDF annotation/note-taking apps. Feel free to use it or pass it to a techie grandkid.

You can download the high tech planner here. There are many other styles in my Etsy shop with a few more to be revealed soon.

Hi. I found your blog through the seriously simple digital planning facebook page. I am deep into using Powerpoint to make my digital planner and I tried uploading it to Goodnotes however none of the hyperlinks I made in Powerpoint work. Have you had issues with that? Any ideas on how to get them to work?

I have only done one on Power Point and it was a very simple one. I did it on the pC version; I haven't tried on the IPad version. I do make some of my templates on the PC powerpoint, then import into Keynote (so I can have a different size base, but I mostly work in Keynote. Do you still have the Powerpoint file? If you want, I can take a liook at it for you.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Now I have another question. How do you import to Keynote? I tried to import my Powerpoint file to Keynote on my Ipad and I don't seem to have an import option. I still have the file and can send it but if you can share how to import to Keynote perhaps I can figure it out from there.

Make sure you have Keynote activated as an app that can accept files when you press the little square thingy with the up arrow. The attached link tells you what to do...you can import ppt by choosing copy to keynote. It converts it for you.

Dianne,

Thank you again. That link was very helpful. I was able to email the presentation and open it in Keynote. It looks like I'll need reset my links but that's okay. I can do that. Thanks again. Have a good evening. - Tara
